Garden Cream Cheese Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 8 oz. cream cheese
• 3 green onions, chopped (white and green part)
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
• 3 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1/4 cup black olives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh sprigs of fresh herbs, or fresh herb leaves, for garnish
• Buttered bread, such as white, wheat, rye or pumpernickel

Procedure

1. In a mixing bowl cream the cheese and add in the rest. Salt and pepper to taste. Put in cooler until ready for assembling sandwiches. This filling can be used in many ways. One way is to spread on desired buttered bread slices, trim and or cut in desired shapes. Garnish with fresh herbs. This is also good to be served on it's own surrounded by toast points, or put on crackers.

Notes

Tip: Buttering the bread before adding the filling helps keep the bread from absorbing too much liquid.
